Three-Seed Tummy Tea

This delicious tea is a favorite for preventing gas after meals. You’ll notice that it’s a light decoction followed by an infusion because of the plant parts that are included. This recipe can be made with either fresh or dried herbs; you can use a mixture if you have some of both.

3 teaspoons fresh or 2 teaspoons dried cumin seed

3 teaspoons fresh or 2 teaspoons dried fennel seed

3 teaspoons fresh or 2 teaspoons dried caraway seed

2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried orange peel

1 – 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried licorice root

3 cups purified water

1 – 2 teaspoons fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried peppermint leaf

Place the cumin, fennel, caraway, orange, and licorice in a saucepan. Add the water and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the peppermint, and let steep, covered, for 15 minutes. Strain and compost the herbs. Drink 1 cup up to three times a day. You can make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Sleep Deep Tea

This is a blend of pleasant herbs to help relax your body and mind and promotes a deep, refreshing sleep.

Make a light decoction { see post-Let’s Create Some Herbal Remedies – Teas} with the valerian root and water. Add the chamomile, St. John’s wort, lemon balm, hops, catnip, and optional passionflower and stevia. Cover the saucepan and steep for 20 minutes. Strain and compost the herbs. Drink 1 or 2 cups before bed as desired. You can make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Our Cold and Flu Brew

This classic blend is comforting and healing during the misery of a cold or flu. It helps lower a fever, removes toxins from your body, fights viral infections, and acts as a decongestant. This recipe is unusual because it calls for simmering flowers to draw out special chemicals that take additional heat to extract. The recipe is formulated for fresh herbs, but if you need to substitute dried for any of them, just use half the quantity listed.

4 teaspoons chopped echinacea leaf

4 teaspoons elderflower

4 teaspoons yarrow flower or leaf

3 cups purified water

You can make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cleansing Tea

This fantastic tea contains cleansing, liver-stimulating, cooling, and soothing dried herbs to reduce inflammation or irritation throughout your digestive tract, along with giving your system a good cleanse. It tastes great, too!

Place the fennel, fenugreek, flax, ginger, and licorice in a saucepan and add the water. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the peppermint and steep the entire mixture, covered, for 10 minutes. Strain and compost the herbs. Drink 1 cup three times a day or as desired.
